Poem Number 2

I stood stillStaring at the skyEyes wide openWondering why?How far do I aim?How far do I shoot?How many miles do Isoar?How fast should my wingsbeat?To speed up my flight?How much further?How much harder must I strive?How many more times shouldI be broken?In spirit, body and mind?How often should I hold back the tears?Bite back the fears?Stop myself from tracingback the years?Coax myself that Tomorrow it’ll all be okay…All be over?While today has me reelingand spinning.Stuck in a place, Caught up in a moment.While those around me Move along, like swirlingblurs.Living their lives in the metaphorical moment.Free as kites,Sailing, soaring highDancing to the whooshingwinds of freedomBending their limits,Flexing their wills;Breaking new grounds;Obliterating boundaries andFulfilling untold destinies.All this yearning,For just a moment in timeTo stop learning;To start applying and commenceteachingTo stop learning ’bout life’squests And to start seeking out thosequestsAnd to start learning byseekingAre just a few things This heart desires.To live a life of experienceand chance;To attain the wisdom of ageand time.Is all this mind, body andsoul yearns for.Not petty disputes,Not unruly uncouthsNor unfair yet harshtruths.Do I care to decipher,Nor discern,Nor set out to spurn.For they like thornson roses;Exist to prick usBack to a reality,Far from frivolity.And remind us of them Paths that lie ahead.To awaken senses and ourconsciences;To hurdles so many,And choices so few And yet so tricky.So beware fellow travellersBe wise, be wary.Of mirages that life presentsand time carries.And may you have muchSuccess on this journey.
